Bornstein's performance/lecture is entitled Hello Cruel Desire: Enjoying Sex, Desire, and Identity in a Sex Negative Culture is free on Tuesday, October 17, 4:30 pm in the Johnson Center Cinema. No prior registration needed.

Kate offers this performance, "because sometimes whatever it is that gives you the most joy, pleasure or relief in life also gets you into the most trouble. Like when you love someone you're not supposed to love. Or when the way you express yourself makes other people queasy or downright antagonistic. Well, there are lots of ways to hold your head high as an outlaw in this world."
